Hey,
I have a 6500 classic and it has an option to be charged using an usb cable... So I was wondering, what can I do if I want to transfer some of my files from the phone using this cable but I don't want my phone to be charged...? Because usually when i want to transfer files, my battery doesn't have to be charged and it can only get damaged (short charging, unnessesary charging, etc.). Is there any way to turn that charging off? Or maybe the short or unnessesary charging isn't bad at all? Glad to read your answers.

i am not sure but the moment u plug in usb charger and start transfering files charging stops.it switches to data transfer mode ie transfer of files,etc.anybody has any idea on this

[mr_toaster]

Yes, I know... But it isn't the transfer of data that worries me... It's the 1 or 2 minute of charging before I start the data transfer and that could be bad for the battery if it lasts too short or it's unnessesary...

hi there
there is a circuit breaker present in the mechanism and i dont think 1 or 2 should affect the battery.any answers on thi.need little clarification.

When you got the phone with the new battery & did the fully charged/discharged cycle two to three times. Succeeding charging does not matter whether its 70% full or 20% but the drawback is rechargeable batteries have a life span to the number of times it can be charge, so frequent charging than necessary really deminishes it's expected life span, though it won't damage the phone.

I don't think you are transfering files so often in day are you? Life span in hundreds or thousand of times, maybe more now because of advances in technology!

hi i suppose 8600 luna was the first model to be released which had usb charging and data transfer with same cable.and now same tech is being followed.i suppose that nokia does not want us to carry chargers everywhere onl the cable is enough giving dual functionality.sems intresting.

then is it good for phone or bad.do you recmmend to charge with usb often or onl in emergency.

it is always better to use charger instead of USB coz during USB charging the supply is taken from pc which is quite less.especially incase of a flat battery and the duration for charging using USB is quite long.USB is oly a feature of phone provided by nokia we can say similar to sony erricson.any inputs/help from seniors.......
